Us at Manukan Island – the second largest island of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine National Park.
Beautiful isn’t’ it?
Getting ready.

Bliss.
Goofing around before we leave.
Beautiful skies.

Danny and Celynna fighting over “who’s stick is better.”
Rene and I did not take many pictures on the way up as we tired and too lazy to take the camera out from the bag. Here are [...]

The flight to KK was all right. There’s really nothing much to complain or praise about. You now have to sit according to your seat numbers in all Air Asia flights. Their Hot Seat cost 7 USD, which I think is rip off. It’s another way for them to make additional money.

I guess we’re all set for the excursion. There’s no turning back… All in all, hubby and myself are pretty excited about the trip. This will be the final “project” before we start having our own family.
Clothes are sealed into ziplock bags.
Very important.

My first digital camera was a Canon Powershot A75, 3.2 mega pixels. Back then it was considered the ”top of the line” compact digital camera. Now some camera phone boast better mega pixels, but of course that was in 2004.
After using the Powershot S5 IS for a couple of years I decided to get myself [...]

Since we have about another month to go before we conquer Mount KK, the gang decided to take a trip up to Bukit Gasing. We started our day by having a light meal at Raju’s.
By the time we arrived, the hill was already packed with hikers taking a fact that it was also a Public Holiday. [...]
